However we are not in the business of charcoal/ charcola briquette produciton by mechanised means. We use hand presses of various types and can use charcoal IF it is a biproduct of existing charcoal produciotn activities. A 25% addition of such crumbs and dust ( off the floor) to the usual leaves grass straw paper blend, (by dry weight) will increase the heat of a normal leaf and grass and paper blend briquette to the same or better output than the original charcoal.<div>Below are some samples from a project we did in Bamako Mali, several years ago. There are hundreds of these blends in use in East Africa today...</div><div>The point is that we will not be promoting charcoal making per se., but rather, agro residue fuel briquetting using ordiary scraps of leaves stras hucks waste paper rice husks and so on...(see the video attached to our website <<a href="http://www.legacyfound.org">www.legacyfound.org</a> >for an explanation of the process.</div><div>If you still feel it might be relevent to your needs and experience, you would be most welcome. </div><div>Please let us know.</div><div>Richard Stanley</div><div> </div><div>Top left 45% charcoal dust crumbs in the stf agroresidue blend: top right 25% charcoal dust and crumbs...:The other two samples are of rice straw, paper and sawdust... </div><div></div></div></body></html>
